Regarding the drawing in the Silver San Juan, this is only an generic drawing, since none of the Geese are the same.

Re: Fake steamer?

Their is also a Bumble Bee C19 in 2.5" scale electric powered.
Nice model, operated once at a Triennial and had a boiler-check-tag, which read "Electric, no steam " :wink:

Also, Russ Wood is/was a dealer for an electric version of a 1.5" steam-engine.

Re: Home Railway Journal

I don't like the digital version either and would like to get a paper version. I subscribed a long time for the 7+ Narrow Gauger, later 7+ Railroader, but let my subscription slip, because they swithched to digital. I prefer to sit in my living room in the evening in front of the TV and read the mag...

Re: Rail stops for sidings

Sorry for that.

I just opened the photo again without any problems. I found it in a german forum, and the photo is hosted by ImageShack.US .

To show you the train, I looked for a photo from a different source and replaced the link.
I also checked this photo before posting, and have no problems.
